I can't take this anymore, I thought to myself. The pain, it's too much. This is going to hurt Edward immensely. With that I let out a piercing scream that sent my body thrashing. Suddenly, I had four pairs of hands restraining me against the table. It seemed like I had been laying there in the blazing fire for an eternity, though I know it was just days. Finally, the fire left my fingers and toes, following up my arms and legs, then lastly, my chest and stomach - until it hit my heart. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH" - This burn was worse than my whole body burning, I didn't think I could last through it, but it lasted only a few seconds. Then, Thud-Thud-Thud - My heart quit beating.

"Alice, how much longer?" I heard his beautiful velvet voice.

"She'll be opening her eyes in two minutes."

I took in a deep breath, though it wasn't necessecary. I could smell everything around me - honey, sunshine, watermelon, lillies, cantaloupe, white roses. I could smell the wood of the floors and the bleach from the clean up of Renesmee's violent birth. Renesmee, my baby. Then it hit me, the smell of the woods, but almost rotten. Suddenly, I was burning. Not in the way I expected though, my whole body burned, almost ached. I felt the urge to rip and tear at the thing this smell emanated from.

I opened my eyes and threw myself from the table into a crouch, ready to hunt, to kill. In the same second, Jasper and Emmett had me pinned to the wall. My body shook violently and I snapped at my brothers, trying so hard to escape, to hunt this vile being. "Bella, Bella, you need to calm down." Jasper said as he sent soothing vibes through me. I felt as though my eyes were going to pop out of my head, searching.

"Bella, my love. Calm down. Explain to me what you're feeling."

"I need it Edward. I need it NOW!"

"What is it you need, Bella?" Carlisle asked.

"I'm not sure what it is. It smells like -" I sniffed the air, "rotten woods, maybe. Like a camper that's been camping for weeks without a shower?"

"Bella, calm down love. That's Jacob."

I laughed uncontrollably then, "THAT is Jacob?" Finally I was able to control myself, knowing that it was my best friend that I was smelling. He smelt horrible, and I wanted nothing more than to kill him, but he was my best friend. I couldn't kill him.

"Bella, are you thirsty?" Carlisle asked calmly.

I grabbed my throat. All the burning besides the one in my throat had suddenly disappeared, and now my throat was burning horribly. "Yes." Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the window. I raised my eyebrows, questioning why we would go out the window. He laughed, "Bella, Jacob and Renesmee are down there." I gasped. "Renesmee..." I turned to go out the door to see her, but Jasper grabbed my shoulders and Emmett blocked the doorway. "Bella, love. Renesmee is half human, she has a heartbeat and her blood flows through her body." I listened for her heartbeat. I heard a loud strong heartbeat that was too heavy to be a baby. I listened closer, I found what sounded like a hummingbird flitting its' wings. That must be her. "When we come back?" Jasper answered this time, "If your thirst is satiated and you show good self control, maybe."
